Definitions
- Patent No 4,584,842 Assuming the adsorbent is in an uncharged state, the adsorbent vessel is heated to vaporize any working fluid contained therein and drive the fluid from the adsorbent vessel to the condensing vessel where it condenses Both vessels are then cooled As the adsorbent vessel cools, it begins to adsorb vapor from the working fluid in the condensing vessel As the working fluid enters the vapor state, it adsorbs the heat of vaporization from its surroundings, which cools the condensing vessel and the working fluid remaining in the condensing vessel When the adsorbent is saturated with working fluid vapor, the cycle is complete The adsorbent vessel is then reheated, causing the vapor to return to the condenser and condense, repeating the previous cycle.
- this invention is directed to a heat transfer apparatus that uses an adsorbent material to generate a cooling effect.
- the invention provides an improvement over the prior art because it is capable of adsorbing a working substance from the solid phase as well as the liquid phase, thereby eliminating the need for brine or other additives which reduce the freezing point of the working substance
- the invention provides a further improvement over the prior art because the amount of adsorbent material is balanced to adsorb substantially all the working substance, thereby maximizing the cooling effect ofthe working substance contained within the heat transfer apparatus.
- Figure 1 is a partially cut away side view of an embodiment ofthe present invention with an adsorbent vessel coupled to a condensate vessel.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the invention in which the condensate vessel includes heat exchanger tubing and is housed in a refrigerated box.
- Figure 6 is an embodiment of the present invention in which two adsorbent vessels are connected to a single condensate vessel.
- Figure 7 is an embodiment of the present invention in which two adsorbent vessels are each connected to separate heat exchangers to provide for continuous cooling ofthe refrigerated box.
- Figure 8 is a schematic view of an alternate embodiment of the present invention in which two adsorbent vessels are used in conjunction with the condensate vessel to drive a turbine.
- Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of Figure 12 taken substantially along line 13-13.
- Figure 14 is an embodiment of the invention which includes a hollow internal heat transfer source and an external annular heat transfer source, both heat transfer sources being suitable for heating or cooling the adsorbent material.
- the nitrogen provides thermal conductivity, increasing the efficiency with which heat may be transferred away from the adsorbent material during deso ⁇ tion. Because the adsorbent material 10 does not adsorb nitrogen as strongly as water, the nitrogen does not prevent the adsorbent material 10 from adsorbing water. In one alternate embodiment of the device illustrated in Figure 1, the vacuum valve 20 is eliminated. As a result, the adsorbent material continuously adsorbs the working substance and continuously rather than suddenly cools the condensate vessel and its contents.
- the diameter of the adsorbent vessel 4 is 2 4 times the diameter of the pipe 8, however, other pipe diameters and configurations are possible as well
- the portion of the pipe 8 which is positioned within the adsorbent vessel 4 may be divided into a plurality of smaller pipes, each with perforations 12 and mesh cloth 14
- the increased number of pipes increases the rate of vapor transfer between the adsorbent 10 and the condensate vessel 6
- the condensate vessel is replaced by a heat exchanger 36 which is positioned within an insulated box 38
- the operation of the adsorbent vessel 4 is substantially the same as operation of the adsorbent vessel discussed above in relation to Figure 1
- the box 38 may then be used to store any items, such as foodstuffs, which require refrigeration
- the heat exchanger 36 contains heat exchanger tubing 40 which serves the same purpose as did the condensate vessel 6 of Figure 1
- the heat exchanger tubing 40 provides a greater heat transfer surface area than does the condensate vessel 6 and therefore more efficiently cools the box 38
- the heat exchanger tubing 40 is oriented at a downward angle to take advantage of gravitational forces as the heat exchanger tubing is filled with condensate
- the heat exchanger tubing 40 is shown in greater detail in Figure 3
- the working substance is a material which expands when solidified, such as water
- the ratio of the working substance volume to compressible material 42 volume is selected such that when the working substance freezes and expands, compressing the compressible material 42, the combined pressure exerted by the frozen working substance, any remaining liquid working substance, and the compressible material 42 is less than the hoop strength of the heat exchanger tubing 40
- the heat exchanger tubing comprises a single section having openings 46 which communicate with the adsorbent vessel 4.
- the heat exchanger tubing 40 may be divided into several lengths, each having openings 46 which communicate with the adsorbent vessel. Such an arrangement increases the exposure of the fluid within the heat exchanger tubing to the adsorbent vessel 4.
- the heat exchanger tubing 40 may be fitted with fins 48 which increase the rate of heat transferred from the box 38 to the heat exchanger tubing, thereby increasing the rate at which the box is cooled.
- Valve 21 is opened to permit the condensate to condense in an accumulator 23 without disturbing the simultaneous adso ⁇ tion conducted by the other adsorbent vessel 4.
- the valve 20 associated with the desorbing vessel is opened, allowing the working substance to flow from the accumulator 23 into the condensate vessel 6.
- the flow of adsorbing vapor between the adsorbent vessels 60 and 62 and the condensing vessel 66 drives a turbine 68 located at the entrance 70 of the condensing vessel to provide power to the power transfer equipment 72.
- Valves 74 and 76 may be opened or closed as desired to permit communication of one or the other of the adsorbent vessels 60 and 62 with the condensing vessel 66.
- Bypass valves 75, 76, 77 and 78 allow condensate to return to the condensing vessel 66 through accumulators 79 and 71
- the heat source 81 may include solar energy, so that during the day, the heat source heats adsorbent material, charging the adsorbent vessel At night the adsorbent vessel adsorbs the working substance from the condensate vessel, heating the adsorbent vessel and cooling the condensate vessel. In this manner the inclusion of the adsorbent vessel and condensate vessel serves to store solar energy and keep the Stirling engine operating, even at night.
